Overview: This calculator shows the current price of a bond given the market interest rate that you enter. It also shows how the price of your bond changes with a change of 2 percentage points in interest rates in either direction. Bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions: If the market interest rate for similar bonds increases, your bond price decreases. Investors are willing to pay less for your bond since they can earn a higher interest rate on similar bonds. If the market interest rate for similar bonds decreases, your bond price increases as investors are willing to pay more for your bond. The calculator also shows the amount of gain or loss you would realize on the bond if you sold today.
